Koh Chang’s reputation as the “new Phuket” is backed up by a number of new and opulent resorts like this one. Of the 42 villas on offer they are divided into six different kinds of suites, which all offer contemporary comfort with distinctly time-honoured touches and designs. The three pool villas come with 224 square metres of spaciousness, as well as private pools, so they’re perfect for families or groups of friend who want some privacy. The classy Bai Bua Restaurant serves up an array of Thai and international dishes with fresh catches of the day. For an after-dinner drink the Moonlight Bar is an atmospheric and alfresco venue.
